Comments, problems, suggestions about Oric emulators (Euphoric, Mess, Amoric, etc...) it's the right place to ask. And don't hesitate to give your tips and tricks that help using these emulations in the best possible way on your favorite operating system.

Build 1014 changes
------------------
- it is now possible to manually insert .tap tapes with the menu interface (it was previously only possible to insert .wav tapes when in hardware tape mode).
- recording a program on a .tap now writes four synchronisation bytes ($16) instead of three. But the emulator is still able to read files with one, two or three synchronisation bytes.
- in .tap mode, a trap has been added on the "bit read" routine in rom, so that more programs that use a copy-protection routine can be used in .tap mode without having to resort to .wav tapes.

PS: the "four synchronisation bytes" is now exactly similar to the Oric ROM. It prevents some multipart TAP files from wrong loading when finding a $16 and a $24 in the code of a program which was supposed to be skipped.

Build 1019 changes
------------------
- several bugs corrected thanks to Simon : I had broken the clock's cycles
global count, which affected a lot of parts in the emulator... Also, thanks
again for forcing me to fix a long-awaiting bug when switching back from the
environment screen...

Build 1018 change
-----------------
- build 1011 had broken the Dump/restore features, because the PSG contents
were not saved. This should now be fixed.

Build 1017 changes
------------------
- fixed another bug in Hardware Mode Tape: when rewinding the tape and keeping
the REC button pressed, a CLOAD would cause corruption of the wav file.
- added some safety features : rewinding the tape in Hardware Mode Tape or
switching tapes will now release the REC button.
- added SLOW mode detection for wav files started from Windows : a CLOAD"",S
is now automatically inserted.
